Custom Tail Lights

[Obsidian11]

I'm going through the same thing right now trying to replace my '00 I totaled back in Dec. She says I need something more practical...I say hell no, I'll negotiate till I get another Stang for a daily driver!

I've been trying to tell her fully restored its worth about 3 times what it is as it sits... and she still wont listen..... says I should drive a "normal"car...

Whats "normal" :huh:

Don't blame you at all!

Fox body Mustangs are still a lot of fun, very reliable and reasonably priced. Best bang for the buck for a very fun driver!

Ok...back on track here. I finally ordered the rest of he supplies to make the first real one of these a little while ago once I get the stuff it should only be a short time before I can make one and see how it works out. I know it's been a long time coming, but I'm sure the end result will be worth the wait.

I wrote of my daily driver Fox 5.0 about 2 years ago, i wanted to replace with a Mustang so bad but honestly it was time to get a "normal car". I went out and bought a Mazda2 and ill admit its nowhere near the same fun I think its still a fun little car with great gas mileage. The thing can stop and turn on a dime (especially when your the only one in the car.) But the best part is though now I have more money to spend on the 73 not spending it on My Fox.

Ok, got my prototype painted last night and just spent the last 3 hrs sanding and polishing it. I did this to make sure it was totally smooth and free of defects before making a mold from it. Tomorrow I hope to start making the mold, it's a long process because the mold has to be 2 halves and each will take at least overnight to cure.

Stay tuned...almost there

I am disappointed that transmission is from China -- at least the Mustangs I have seen recently on the dealership floors.

Stopped at a local Ford dealer to see the 2013 Shelby. They did not have one yet, so I looked at the new 5.0, I would not trade my 11 for one even swap:-/ IMO they have ruined the front end of the car. I dont think the salesman liked it when I compared it to a Dodge truck front end.

Someone say Dodge front end?

That's a Mustang II sketch from Richard Nessbit: http://deansgarage.com/2009/every-boys-dream-the-life-and-career-of-an-automotive-designer/

Not bad, even if it does look like a 2011 Charger.

Made the mold box and got it all set up. Tomorrow I'll mix up some of the silicone and pour it in to make the first half...

Dude this is awesome.

 

[Obsidian11]

The first half is poured!

Approx. 18 hrs from now we'll see how it turned out and proceed to the second half.

I will be checking in 17 hours.

The prototype looks sweet!

I am pretty impressed that we made an idea go this far. Good job everyone for cheering on a dream and making our cars better. I have some interior ideas that I will be working on in the near future. Hope to get some drawn renderings up soon. Cant wait until these tail lights are finished!!!

 

[luxstang]

Yup, this is getting more and more exciting!!

 

[Obsidian11]

Still drying...hope it's just because its cold in my garage and not because I mixed it wrong???
